Alabama Coach Nick Saban Offers Words of Support to Grieving Arkansas Player

Kyle NewportOct 9, 2016

Frank Ragnow may play for the Arkansas Razorbacks, but that didn't matter to Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban.

Saban knew the offensive lineman was going through a difficult time, so he did what he could to help him through it.

Ragnow's father died last week, and he honored him with a heartfelt collage:

After going home to be with his family during the week, the center was back with his team Saturday for an SEC showdown with Alabama.

Following the Crimson Tide's 49-30 victory, Sabanโ€”who once recruited Ragnowโ€”sought out the junior to offer some words of support:

During his postgame press conference, Saban revealed what he said to Ragnow. While they were opponents during the game, the coach recognized the moment and was there for his fellow man.

Sports can help get people through tough timesโ€”especially if they include a classy gesture like Saban's.
